Fluoride ions vs removal technologies: A study
Abstract Literature reported that drinking water is a precious and scarce resource and it has to be protected and kept free from any kind of contamination. Further, it has to be used carefully without wasting. Literature also reported that fluoride bearing rocks are abundant in India, as a result, fluoride leaches out and contaminates the […]

Obtaining of silicon nanowires becomes eco-friendly
Scientists from the Faculty of Physics, the Lomonosov Moscow State University have worked out a new and more eco-friendly method of silicon nanowires obtaining, which allows to replace hydrofluoric acid (HF) by ammonium fluoride (NH4F). Silicon nanowires are streamlined, almost parallel to each other nanostructures, looking like wires. Nanowires diameter varies from 50 to 200 […]

Quenching global thirst: Water filter using zirconium oxide nanoparticles
Nanoparticles of zirconium oxide, says Arup SenGupta, P.C. Rossin Senior Professor of civil, environmental, and chemical engineering, possess adsorption properties that make them uniquely beneficial to human beings. They can remove four major toxins — arsenic, fluoride, phosphate and lead — from water. SenGupta, a highly-awarded, three-decade pioneer in engineering for clean water around the […]

IBM just found a way to turn toxic old smartphones into medical-grade plastic
The technology industry’s e-waste problem isn’t expected to go away anytime soon, but IBM just made a discovery that could help. Researchers there have discovered a new recycling process that can turn the polycarbonates used to make smartphones and CDs into a nontoxic plastic that’s safe and strong enough for medical use. Polycarbonates are found […]

Exposure to chemicals in plastic and fungicides may irreversibly weaken children’s teeth
Chemicals commonly found in plastics and fungicides may be weakening children’s teeth by disrupting hormones that stimulate the growth of dental enamel, according to a new study presented today at the European Congress of Endocrinology. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with mammalian hormones. Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most prevalent, found in […]

Milestone in the battle against arsenic- and fluoride-contaminated drinking water
Summary: Over 300 million people worldwide use groundwater contaminated with arsenic or fluoride as a source of drinking water. Now a research team has developed a method whereby the risk of contamination in a given area can be estimated using geological, topographical and other environmental data without having to test samples from every single groundwater […]
